  • Doing what I love, as a chef in the U.S. Army

    March 19, 2012

    By: Sergeant Ralph Pabon


    Before I joined the Army, I had graduated from Salem High School in Virginia Beach and was working at Outback Steak House. I worked there for about six months, until one day, I felt that I wanted to make a difference in life, and decided the Army was the way to do it. I joined the Army on 30 MAR 2004. Upon completion of basic training, I attended AIT (Advanced Individual Training) in Fort Lee Virginia to become a Food Service Specialist. Shortly after my “high-speed” training...read more

  • Recruiting

    August 31, 2011

    By: Staff Sergeant Cody Sargent


    During my last deployment in 2007-2008 I was selected to become a detailed recruiter. At first I did not want anything to do with it, but 2 years later I am in the process of converting to a full time recruiter. I feel that I have many tools to help out when it comes to young men and women saying they are afraid to join because of the ongoing conflicts. I have experienced the up's and down's of deployment and understand what it is like to leave youyr loved ones.

    While visiting the Orlando Metroa Area, I've had the opportunity to participate in the 2011 DECA Conference as one of three West Point Representatives.

The Conference is open to high school students from across the country and will run for a few days. The Army has a booth set-up in the very front of the Orange County...read more

    Countdown to the All-American Bowl in San Antonio…I am leaving on 3 January to gather the team, set up the equipment, prep the food, and then it show time in the Army Strong Zone just outside the Alamodome January 6 – 9. I just hope this year it will be a little warmer. Even with the benefit of an open flame and large scale cooking demos, I don’t think I ever warmed up. I’ll be joined by a number of talented Army Chefs who I have...read more

We're less than two years away from the Culinary Olympics we will continue...read more

    Last week during mil lab, the MS 4s taught some MS 1s the proper techniques for individual movement. We taught them how to low and high curl and buddy rushes. Doing a lot of running in Cross Country and doing PT in the morning helps keep me in shape so when I do these individual movements I will not wear out as fast. Our cross country season is slowly coming to an end as we maintain our physical fitness for the regional’s race that is coming up this week. It is important to sometimes to...read more
